Continuous local intravenous heparin infusion after re‐exploration for venous congestion in free‐flap breast reconstruction: A case series

Abstract

We demonstrated local intravenous heparin infusion to salvage flaps after reexploration for postoperative venous congestion after free-flap breast reconstruction. All flaps were salvaged using local intravenous heparin infusion without major complications. Local intravenous heparin infusion is an effective and safe procedure.
